Multifunctional porous bio-polyurethane/biomass composites for concurrent removal of oil and heavy metal ions

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a bio-sorbent composite for the simultaneous removal of oil and heavy metals from contaminated environments.
• Synthesis of bio-polyurethane from agricultural wastes.
• Characterization of the composite's adsorption capacity.
• Tests conducted on oil and heavy metal removal efficiency.
• The developed composite effectively removed oil contaminants.
• Significant adsorption of heavy metals was achieved alongside oil removal.
